Yes, it looks good in colour also. I like both.

It looks like this would work well in colour or B/W. Although its a bit old hat i might have tried a colour pop with the background kept to B/W or muted, just to see.
This is a real busy image for the eye and i find myself going round and round to different elements , great. Just the right amount of blur in the background.
Quick question - theres a defined halo in the bottom right and botton left (around the lady's trousers) is this due to post process or as it was ?

Hi there I have just looked at the original RAW file, there is an out of focus halo, which has been exaggerated by the post processing. The lens was 50mm set at f2 aperture which gave a good out of focus background.
